He added: “Hopefully something like this would not cost a huge amount of money as I feel we just need a platform point where be can get on and off safely and that can be managed.

“We need to stop the level of pollution in Southampton because there are finite amount of spaces on the road as it is.”

The party – which currently holds 19 of the 48 seats – has also earmarked an idea to build another station at the docks, potentially at the old Southampton Terminus railway station, to increase transport for people using cruise liners and the area.

So far Cllr Moulton has been in talks with organisations such as the Three Rivers Rail Partnership – a group of local authorities, local people and the rail industry – who are working to promote train and local bus services across the city.

Northam railway station used to be the closest functions station to the Britannia Road stadium, but it was closed in 1966.

In 1999, a £10m plan to reopen both Northam and Southampton Terminus stations were submitted by Anglia Railways but these failed for unknown reasons.

Labour ward councillor for Bevois, Cllr Stephen Barnes-Andrews, said: “When the ground was originally built there was some sort of feasibility study about whether a station could be built but railway companies were not interested at all as the station would only serve people on matchdays or when events are on.”

And ahead of May 3 elections, the Conservatives have also promised to eradicate homelessness, tackle potholes, scrap certain parking permits, and bring back weekly bin collections.
